Site Index Check
Quickly check the Google index volume and status for any site domain.
Do not include http:// or https://
How this works
We instantly scan the target server's `robots.txt` and HTML header to identify if search engines are actively blocked via `noindex` directives.
Is Google Actually Indexing Your Site?
You can spend months perfecting your content, building backlinks, and optimizing your on-page SEO — and if a single misplaced noindex directive or a misconfigured robots.txt is blocking Google, none of it matters. Your pages simply won’t appear in search results.
This tool checks a domain’s robots.txt file and HTML response headers for indexing directives, giving you an instant read on whether search engines are being actively blocked — no Google Search Console access, no API keys, no waiting.
What the Tool Checks
robots.txt File
The robots.txt file at the root of a domain tells crawlers which paths they can and cannot access. A Disallow: / rule blocks all crawlers from all pages — a common mistake after site migrations, staging environment misconfiguration, or accidental deployment of a development-mode robots.txt file to production.
X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header
The X-Robots-Tag header can be set server-side to control indexing on a per-URL or site-wide basis without modifying HTML. A noindex value here prevents Google from indexing the page even if the HTML itself has no meta robots tag.
Meta Robots Tag
The <meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex’> tag in a page’s HTML head section tells crawlers not to include the page in their index. This is one of the most common accidental indexing blocks — often set during development and not removed before launch.
Common Reasons a Site Might Not Be Indexed
- A development or staging robots.txt (Disallow: /) was deployed to production
- The CMS’s ‘Discourage search engines’ setting was left enabled after launch (common in WordPress)
- An X-Robots-Tag: noindex header is being set at the server or CDN level
- The domain is too new and Googlebot hasn’t crawled it yet (not something this tool detects, but worth knowing)
- The site was previously penalized and de-indexed by Google
How to Use the Results
If the tool reports no indexing blocks, your site’s directives are configured correctly. Note that this tool confirms you’re not actively blocking Google — it doesn’t confirm that Google has already indexed your pages. For a full index count and coverage report, use Google Search Console.
If the tool detects a noindex directive or a blocking robots.txt, you have a clear problem to fix immediately. Removing the block and requesting a re-crawl through Google Search Console is the next step.
Use Case: Site Migration QA
After migrating a site to a new CMS, host, or domain, this tool is one of the first checks to run. Migrations frequently introduce indexing blocks through incorrect environment configuration. Catching this before Google recrawls your site can save weeks of recovery time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If this tool shows no blocks, does that mean Google has indexed my pages?
A: No — it means you haven’t actively blocked Google. Whether Google has indexed your pages is a separate question answered by Google Search Console’s Index Coverage report.
Q: How often should I run this check?
A: Run it immediately after any site migration, CMS upgrade, hosting change, or major configuration update. For ongoing monitoring, Google Search Console provides better continuous coverage.
Q: Can I check competitor domains?
A: Yes — you can check any publicly accessible domain. The tool only reads publicly available files (robots.txt and HTML headers), the same information any search engine crawler would access.
Q: Does the tool index or store the domains I check?
A: No. Domain lookups are client-side and not logged.
